Rumored Islam vs. Charles targeted for UFC 297 (TORONTO)

[Small Town Andrew]

I've been saying since Khabib retired no one at LHW matches up with Islam. He has been a great champion

 

[TR1]

They can do a Bobby Green rematch after.

 

[Simple Southerner]

At least it's not in rigged abu dhabi

War Charles

 

[old school 2]

Odds are in favor of Charles………..being a no-show …again.

 

[old school 2]

The ONLY rematch Islam should be doing is Adriano Martins.

 

[Kenny Powerth]

Mad respect for Islam for the activeness as of late

 

[old school 2]

Lol and have 2 or 3 defenses fighting literally 1 top ten lw lmao

4 fights against top 4 p4p’s in a row. Jon Jones in his entire career only fought a depleted Cormier as a top p4p , something to think about.

 

[Dirty Frank]

What?! That’s some seriously gangster shit on Islams part of that’s true. Keeps the division moving along nicely.

Yeah it is, though he literally did not sustain any damage whatsoever from the Volk fight.

Put a halt to two impressive win streaks as well.

It's two guys... fighting the same guy 7 times isn't beating 7 top guys its beating 1 top guy 7 times

 

[Here's Johnny!]

Makhachev has 2 top 10 LW wins and it’s not entirely Makhachevs fault no one wanted to fight him or has a choice in who he fights. Volkanovski fighting the champion at LW was already a done deal. Prior to Makhachev winning the title against Oliveira.

I'm not hating on Islam I'm hating on these matchups

I'm not hating on Islam I'm hating on these matchups

Let’s be real, Volk fought max 3 times, Kamaru fought both Colby and Masvidal twice each. The fact that they kept doing rematches didn’t diminish their legacy so it shouldn’t diminish Islam’s. It’s of course not ideal, but I don’t wanna hear excuses about islam only doing rematches if he beats Charles again.

I think Usman fighting Colby and masvidal twice Greatly diminishes his legacy... honestly you look at his career now and he's a bit above Woodley? Dude could have done way more...

Max has better wins than Volk at FW because of Volks weird choices... if it weren't for the head to head Max has a way better FW career...

I think those rematches hurt both Volk and Usman is my point.

He finished 2 , if he beats Gaejthe like Khabib did that’s 3 top p4p and again Jones only beat 1 and a depleted one at that. Don’t hate.

I'm not hating... and I'm not a Jones fan so idk why you keep bringing him up.... I like how you think though I would prefer him to fight Justin than Charles... thats my point....

 

[MMAFanCal]

I usually root for Charles, but man Islam deserves ALL the respect in the world. He is a true warrior and a true champion. He took a short notice fight against Alex. Though, he did not suffer any damage, but to take another fight in just 2 months, he is a total beast.

 

[pick999]

ok all you people better not complain that the card isnt stacked when one of them pulls out

 

[SeattleFightFan]

If Islam loses it’s going to be the fastest bandwagon jump since….well, probably since Oliveira lost.

Today he’s a LW Goat and has nothing more to prove and deserves to go to 170.

And if he loses he only beat one LW top 5 fighter ever and is totally overrated.

And on a totally different note….Looking forward to this fight.

 

[BigOlJeet]

After Islam starches Do Bronx again, he should move up to ww

Enough of the moving up shit, and you wonder why divisions get held up. Let him mark his home at LW and reign there.
